"What better way to ward off the chill of winter than with a pair of knitted cuffs?" asks Matthews. "These cuffs feature a beaded motif inspired by ice crystals. A quick knit, they can be easily modified in length and circumference to fit a variety of wrist sizes." Knitted widthwise in garter stitch (you can see the grain of the ridges), this is a splendid design just right for the season, and beautiful to wear or give. Matthews writes an extremely clear pattern, and you get both written-out and charted instructions. If you use the provisional cast on and a three-needle bind-off, there's no sewing at all. Gauge given is over garter stitch.
